13 WHAT S THE BIG DEAL? Malleable concepts that depend on facts and circumstances UDAAP-based rulemakings have been limited Remedies to enforce credit obligations Telemarketing Know it when you see it UDAAP = Enforcement Cases set precedent 13
14 WHAT S THE BIG DEAL? Body of CFPB settlements looks and feels like common law BUT: Lacks checks and balances No judge Subjective interpretations with little rationale No admissions by parties New policy but no notice & comment 14
15 STATES STEP IN States are using federal UDAAP powers 15
16 IDENTIFYING UDAAP 16
17 UNFAIR PRACTICES - Defined by Dodd-Frank Act - An act or practice that: [1]causes or is likely to cause substantial injury to consumers [2] which is not reasonably avoidable by consumers [and [3] the] injury is not outweighed by countervailing benefits to consumers or to competition. 12 USC 5531(c)(1) See also FTC Policy Statement on Unfairness (December 17, 1980) 17
18 EXAMPLE: UNFAIRNESS IN PRODUCT EXECUTION CREDIT MONITORING PRODUCT Consumer purchases monitoring of credit report information at three credit bureaus from card issuer Card issuer does not track activity at one or more credit bureaus Customers never notified Customers pay full price for the product without receiving full benefits Injury, unavoidable, no countervailing benefits 18

20 EXAMPLE: DECEPTIVE TELEMARKETING SALES INSERT VIDEO CLIP 20

22 OTHER EXAMPLES OF UNFAIR OR DECEPTIVE PRACTICES Misleading cost or price claims Omitting material limitations Failing to provide promised services Bait and switch ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Offering a service that is not actually available Selling a product unfit for its purpose Unfair or Deceptive Acts or Practices by State-Chartered Banks, FDIC FIL
23 ABUSIVE PRACTICES Defined by Dodd-Frank Act An act or practice that: [1] materially interferes with the ability of a consumer to understand a term or condition of a consumer financial product or service; OR 23
24 ABUSIVE PRACTICES An act or practice that: [2] takes unreasonable advantage of [either]: a lack of understanding on the part of the consumer of the material risks, costs, or conditions of the product or service; the inability of the consumer to protect the interests of the consumer in selecting or using a consumer financial product or service; or the reasonable reliance by the consumer on a covered person [such as a bank or other financial institution] to act in the interests of the consumer. 12 USC 5531(d) 24
25 EXAMPLE: ABUSIVE ACTS IN DEBT-RELIEF DEBT-RELIEF SERVICES Consumer pays fee for debt-relief services after being told debt could be settled in 3-6 months Abusive practice: to knowingly enroll consumers whose financial conditions made it highly unlikely that they could complete the program Inadequate income to support repayment 25
26 EXAMPLE: ABUSIVE ACTS IN DEBT COLLECTION DEBT-COLLECTION On-line payday loan agreements that were: subject solely to the exclusive laws and jurisdiction of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe, Cheyenne River Indian Reservation CFPB said loans were void in some states due to licensing or usury violations Abusive practice: collecting on loans when taking unreasonable advantage of consumers lack of understanding about the impact of applicable state laws on the parties rights and obligations 26
27 UNIVERSAL PROBLEMS INADEQUATE COMPLIANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS Failure to prevent, identify, and correct problems 27
28 CFPB BULLETINS ADDRESSING UDAAP Prohibition of UDAAP in the Collection of Consumer Debts Collecting unauthorized debts, i.e. late fees Untimely posting payments and charging late fees Illegally taking possession of property Revealing consumer debt to employers or co-workers Falsely representing debt amount or status Misrepresentations regarding: Source of communications attorney or a government agency Reporting to credit agencies Waiver or forgiveness offers CFPB Bulletin
29 ADDITIONAL UDAAP GUIDANCE Marketing of Credit Card Promotional APR Offers 0% balance transfer offers If a promotional balance transfer is not paid in full, consumer will lose grace period on future purchases and pay interest even if new purchase balance is paid in full Deception: Misrepresenting the true cost of promotional interest rate offers Transaction fee in Reg Z disclosure is the only fee Promotional rate is the only rate charged Failure to disclose contingent costs Abusive: Taking unreasonable advantage of consumers by failing to adequate disclose conditions & exploiting this lack of understanding Above & Beyond Reg Z Requires additional discloses re: effect of promotional APR offers on grace period for new purchases CFPB Bulletin
